Question

which is the best way to complete the text? rana sylvatica, a species of wood frog, endures harsh winters in a state of frozen ______ can survive with two - thirds of its body water completely frozen. hibernation it; hibernation; it; hibernation, and, it

Explanation:

To determine the correct completion, we analyze the sentence structure. The first part describes the frog's state (frozen hibernation), and the second part is an independent clause about its survival. A semicolon (;) is appropriate to separate two independent clauses. The first option ("hibernation it") is a run - on. The third option ("hibernation, and, it") has incorrect punctuation (unnecessary commas around "and"). So "hibernation; it" is correct.

Answer:

B. hibernation; it (assuming the options are labeled as A: hibernation it, B: hibernation; it, C: hibernation, and, it)
